A notion pregnant with such trepidation that it makes Joan Allen almost pull off a Rose Madder or a Dolores Claiborne or a Jessie Burlingame from Stephen King‘s Gerald’s Game (now also a feature film), with Anthony LaPaglia and Stephen Lang playing the typical King husband and retired detective-hound, respectively.

If it weren’t for King’s clunky – by his own standards – script based on his own, brilliant, short story; Peter Askin‘s lacklustre direction had all the potential of going down in history as one of the cringeworthy adaptations of a King story. But that isn’t the case here; A Good Marriage entertains just enough as you keep noticing the words from the book being acted out and spoken by the performers; all very well. This pilgrim was sorted.

And then this flashed by…

All said and done, this is no Stand by Me but then it isn’t even The Tommyknockers.
